Sorry, misread. It's a tower case. And though I appreciate the advice, you are preaching to the choir. This is not my choice, nor is it my decision. I'm just doing the leg work.
your existing 5+ year old 10 ATA drives are likely only a few 100GB or so total, organized as at least 3 seperate raids ? (raids can't span controllers).
Actually, 1 x 500GB (500GB/RAID0), 2 x 1.5TB (RAID5).
